Welcome to Amo Artlab
At Amo Artlab, every mark tells a story.
This is the creative studio of Anne-Marie Hamilton an artist, storyteller, and guardian of textures forgotten and forms remembered. Rooted in both New Zealand and Scottish whakapapa, Anne-Marie’s work traces the fingerprints of whenua, history, and spirit through ancient frottage techniques and sacred geometry.
​
You are invited into a space where graphite meets granite, where shadow becomes form, and where art is a sacred act of remembering.
​
Here, the land leaves its impressions.
And the artist listens with her hands.
Get to know the artist
Anne-Marie Hamilton is a multidisciplinary artist, storyteller, and visionary with roots woven through the whenua of Aotearoa and whakapapa's back to Scotland. Her work emerges from the sacred meeting point of memory, land, and geometry, marking moments, tracing textures, and inviting us to see the unseen.
​
Specialising in frottage, an ancient technique of graphite rubbing. Anne-Marie brings forward impressions of stone, woodcuts, and built surfaces into delicate yet bold artworks. Each piece is a dialogue between the natural world and the stories we carry, whispering of ancestry, place, and belonging.
Guided by a reverence for sacred geometry, printmaking, and a deep noticing of the world around her, Anne-Marie’s practice is both meditative and exploratory. Her eye for pattern and her hand for precision work together to honour both spontaneous process and ancestral influence.
​
Anne-Marie’s studio, Amo Artlab, is more than a workspace, it is a living laboratory of creativity, curiosity, and connection. Here, art becomes a way of listening to the past and imagining new futures.
